Here's a short biography of me.
It is written in the third person so that I can use it
for proposals and other efforts.
Dr. Glenn E. Miller is the Deputy Division Head of the
Information Technology Services Division of the Space Telescope
Science Institute. IT Services is responsible for the information and
computing infrastructure of the STScI.
Since
joining the STScI staff in 1983, he has been involved in
several areas of the STScI including observatory operations, software
development and information technology. He
was instrumental in the design and development of the HST
Proposal Entry Processor, Remote Proposal Submission (RPS
and RPS2), and Spike Scheduling systems.
From 1994-1999 he was Associate Lead for Planning and
Scheduling at the Space Telescope Science Institute. From
1990-1994 he
was Chief of the Advance Planning Systems Branch. He has
authored or co-authored numerous articles on the development
of HST planning software and the application of advanced
techniques to scientific applications and observatory
operations. He has published in several areas of astronomy
including the initial mass function and stellar birthrate
(the "Miller-Scalo IMF"), abundances in peculiar red giant
stars, and the evolution of galaxies and clusters. He was
Principal Investigator on the Data Reduction Expert
Assistant (Draco) project which was supported by NASA's AISR
program. He received an Honors B.A. summa cum laude in physics from
Rollins College. He pursued graduate study in
astronomy at the University of Texas at Austin, earning an
M.A. and a Ph.D. Subsequently he joined the faculty of the
University of Virginia as an Assistant Professor of Astronomy.
Awards include the
the AURA Service Award for his leadership in improving observatory
operations while maximizing science return and reducing operating
costs,
a NASA Group Achievement Award for the HST SM4
Servicing Implementation Team,
the NASA Vision 2000 Control Center
Systems Award for his leadership in the Vision 2000 Planning and
Scheduling Product Development Team,
a NASA
Certificate of Recognition for his role in the development of
RPS2,
a NASA GSFC Productivity Group Award and an STScI
Group Achivement Award
for his work on the Presto process improvement initiative.
Here is an even shorter, less formal one:
Since the early 1980s, Dr. Glenn Miller has
worked at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore,
Maryland which conducts science operations for NASA's Hubble Space
Telescope. From this vantage, he has participated in the development
of space-based observatories and Hubble's discoveries. A graduate of
Rollins College in Physics, Dr. Miller earned a Ph.D. in Astronomy from
the University of Texas at Austin and was Assistant Professor of
Astronomy at the University of Virginia. He has authored several
articles on observatory operations and scheduling, and his work the
stellar initial mass function and birthrate (the "Miller-Scalo IMF")
is frequently cited. His work has been recognized by awards from NASA
and the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy.
